Battery and Belt Clip

To insert the battery, press it into the tool until it clicks. To remove, press the release button and pull it out. The belt clip can be attached to either side of the tool for convenient transport using the provided fastening screw.

Direction and Mode Selection

Use the direction preselector switch to choose forward (tightening) or reverse (loosening) rotation. The speed control panel allows you to select between three modes (1, 2, 3) for torque, rotation speed, and impact speed. Mode 'A' is a special mode for automatic stop during tightening or loosening. The 'screw' mode is intended for driving screws into wood.
